DESCRIPTION
sysidtool is a suite of programs that configure a new sys-
tem, or one that has been unconfigured with sys-
unconfig(1M). The sysidtool programs run automatically at
system installation, or during the first boot after a
machine has been successfully unconfigured.
These programs have no effect except at such times, and
should never be run manually.
The sysidtool programs set up the appropriate information in
the machine's configuration files, in the kernel, and on the
machine's network interface. The following list shows the
available commands and the information for which each of the
commands lists.
sysidnet: network configuration
Machine's default locale. Machine's console type.
Machine's host name. Machine's IP address.
sysidns: name service configuration

System Administration Commands sysidtool(1M)
Name service choice: NIS, NIS], DNS, LDAP, or none.
Machine's IP subnet mask (if no NIS/NIS] server can
automatically be located on the machine's sub-network.
Domain name for chosen name service. Hostname and IP
address of name server(s). DNS search list (DNS name
service only)
sysidsys: miscellaneous system configuration
Machine's IP subnet mask (if an NIS/NIS] server was
automatically located on the machine's sub-network).
Machine's time zone. Date and time.
sysidroot: control superuser information
Machine's root password.
sysidpm: power management configuration
Auto-shutdown confirmation if the system is Energystar-
V2 compliant, that is, a new system model shipped after
October 1, 1995.
sysidnfs4: NFSv4 domain configuration
Domain name to be used by NFSv4 client(s) and server(s)
to transmit user and group id's as strings of the gen-
eral form "[usergroup]@domain".
sysidkbd: keyboard layout configuration
The corresponding keytable is loaded into the kernel
according to the configured keyboard layout.
sysidconfig: host- or platform-specific configuration
This command controls specification and execution of
custom configuration applications that can be specified
for a particular host or a particular platform. See
sysidconfig(1M).
The sysidtool programs attempt to obtain system configura-
tion information from various name service databases, for
example, NIS, or from the sysidcfg(4) file, and you are

prompted to provide the information if it cannot be found.
However, you can avoid one or more of the prompts by precon-
figuring the appropriate configuration information in the
name service databases or in the sysidcfg(4) file.
To preconfigure the information in the name service data-
bases, you must use the name service commands or the Sol-
stice AdminSuite tools. See for more details about how to
preconfigure the system configuration information.
The machine's configuration information is set up in its
/etc and /var files.
If a system has more than one network interface, you can use
sysidtool to configure all interfaces on the system.
You cannot use the name service databases or the sysidcfg(4)
file to suppress the Power Management configuration prompt.
However, you can suppress it by creating either the
/autoshutdown or /noautoshutdown file before installation
reboot. Accordingly, the auto-shutdown feature is silently
configured. The /autoshutdown or /noautoshutdown files are
removed by sysidpm before it exits.
sysidnfs4 installs the /etc/.NFS4inststate.domain file upon
the successful configuration of the NFSv4 domain name. If
this file is present during system reboot, the sysidnfs4
program is run but no prompts are displayed. The suppression
of prompts is intended for system upgrades, in which a sys-
tem configuration typically stays unchanged. The stability
level of this interface is obsolete
sysidkbd prompts for the keyboards with zero-bCountryCode
and then sets the keyboard layout string in the
/etc/default/kbd file. If the sysidkbd gets the valid key-
board layout string, the string will be set into the entry
"LAYOUT=" in the file.
